Exit: The Game

Escape rooms are a real treat. Being trapped in a mysterious room with your friends and familyknowing that anything around you could be a clue to a convoluted riddlethe pressure of the clock counting downand driving back home with hours of discussion of what you could have done differently. Unfortunately, most of us don't get to do escape rooms very often. But if you enjoy the type of logic involved in escape rooms, you'll probably like these games which are also a fraction of the cost! Having done a real escape room, I can tell you that the puzzles in these games are just as complicated as the real thing, and as a bonus, don't require an app or batteries. All you need are a few pencils, paper pads, a timer, and a pair of scissors. In the game box, you'll find riddle cards, answer cards, help cards, a booklet, a decoder disk, and some strange objects which you'll use in puzzles later in the game. Like a typical escape room, your first move is to take a look around the room to find clues & riddle cards. The puzzles involved are an interesting mix of logic, leaps of logic, and activities. Word scrambles, dot-to-dots, magic eye pictures, word riddles, scraps of letters and numbers, chemical tables, etc. are just some of the various pieces of the head-scratching brain teasers you may encounter. When you think you have figured a riddle out, you can check your answer by entering it into the decoder disk; it will tell you if you were right, wrong, or maybe correct and move you along in the game. If you get stuck, you can always consult the help cards for clues. When you and your friends have solved the last puzzle, you're done! Check your score by seeing how long it took you and how many help cards you had to use. It's worth noting that each title in this series is only meant to be played once. You will mark up, tear, fold, and cut the materials, and once you've completed a scenario there are no more puzzles to be found in it. Each game scenario has a difficulty score from 1 - 5, with 5 being the hardest. Game time: average of 1-2 hours. - Janine
